[@84deeanne]

[@stewartfurini]

Hi Larry - thanks for commenting. As introductions to woodturning go, your story is certainly a very moving one. I know that I get a lot of joy and fulfilment from my turning and I enjoy sharing my ideas, so I'm pleased you find them interesting. I've got a giveaway going on one of my platters. If you want to be in the draw, leave a comment on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmPWaIqqg7CFeLs Best wishes!

[@hsbsolutions]

Love it and the humour you must be a teacher I think. But I could be wrong but the retired homicide detective in me says I'm spot on. Great work keep the info coming at every stage as your knowledge shared helps me.

[@stewartfurini]

You got me - English teacher.....but the woodturning keeps me sane (????) Glad you like the video and thanks for commenting. Cheers!

[@traceyrice]

Interesting bowl shape and the design is certainly eyecatching. 💜

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Tracey - it was fun to do this....in fact, it's still lying around in my workshop somewhere.....

[@kevingeaney7741]

Well done Stewart, you are a fantastic dancer! Your bowl decoration is not bad either. 😀 I really got a lot out of this one thank you.

[@stewartfurini]

Cheers, Kevin - glad the dance moves stand up!! Great that you got something out of this one.

[@JimsonMakes]

Another great looking piece Stewart. Cheers, Jim

[@stewartfurini]

Thank you, Jim - it was fun, even if a bit long-winded! I've got some crackle paste to try now! Cheers.

[@cmhes1]

Looks great Stewart and that's you ahead for March club competition

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Christine! Still needs a back turning....Cheers!

[@johnhiggs3040]

Saw this piece at Makers Central 2019. Brilliant piece and loved the effect you've achieved.

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, John. Glad you got to see it in real life. Cheers!

[@NEB3310]

Just came to the channel a few months ago and I'm inspired by your experiments. Have a prosperous and safe New Year. - rick

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Rick - glad you found my channel and that you enjoy my videos. Happy New Year. Cheers!

[@EpoxyWood]

Amazing talent! Thank you for sharing this great technique. I could not stop looking at this platter on Saturday in Birmingham :) I will hopefully see you again at Makers Central next year! Best wishes, Alicja from Bristol

[@stewartfurini]

Thank you, Alicja - it was great to meet you on Saturday. Thank you for being so interested in my work and for commenting - it means a lot! If you are interested in getting into woodturning check out the Max Carey Woodturning Trust in Portishead. Take care. Cheers!!

[@EpoxyWood]

Thank you Stewart - funny you mentioned the Max Carey Woodturning Trust - I did go there just 3 days before Makers Central and I am on a 1-year waiting list! 🤭Can't wait!

[@stewartfurini]

@@EpoxyWood 1 year!!! Wow - hope it passes quickly....shame you are so far from where I'm based. It's a fantastic woodturning centre and you'll get great tutoring there.

[@stevenhansen8641]

Thanks for the time and effort Stewart.

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Steven. Your support is really appreciated. Cheers!

[@thewoodman6039]

new subscriber. Love your raw talent. And the dance moves get better the more you spray the lacquer. Now how do I know that? Marvin from Texas. I am going to be viewing a lot of your uploads.

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks for subscribing, Marvin - and for commenting! Much appreciated. Hope you enjoy my other videos too. Cheers!

[@RickTurnsWoodturning]

Great bowl, Stewart!

[@stewartfurini]

RickTurns Thank you Rick! And thanks for the shout out again on your latest video. Cheers!!

[@spwoodart]

Nice experimenting. I like the creative techniques used. Happy new year!

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks! Happy New Year to you as well. Cheers!

[@PeteBeardsley]

You certainly have more patience than me, that's a fact! lol I rather like that, good job Stewart and all the best for the coming year.

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Pete - patience was definitely needed. I'm thinking of trying to use ink to create lines but I like the texture the burning adds...Cheers!

[@boyofcow]

Happy New Year! looking forward to more videos this year

[@boyofcow]

and very nice effect too. thank you

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, BOC! Delighted you liked the effect. Happy New Year. Cheers!

[@JohnClothier]

Really like that Stewart. Interesting effect!

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks John! I was pleased with how this came out. Quite time consuming though!!

[@JohnClothier]

Stewart Furini I did think that tbh. Have you tried crackle paint? Just wondering if you could use that as an underlay and then colour over the top

[@stewartfurini]

I haven’t used crackle spray. I’m seeing what I can do with the supplies I already have....unofficial new Year resolution is to buy as little as possible...but still have fun!

[@JohnClothier]

Stewart Furini good idea. I like that. Sometimes you come up with new methods doing that that actually make for new and interesting ideas.

[@coltaylor5878]

Happy New Year from Western Australia to you as well Stewart. I really liked your first for 2018, most inspiring mate. Thank you so much for sharing your videos as always Kind Regards Col

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks Col. Glad you like the first video of the year. Happy New Year to you. I hope it's a great one! Cheers

[@redheadhippiewoodturning4694]

Another beautiful masterpiece ❤️

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, RedHead!

[@leroy5007]

Awesome peace, Stewart

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Leroy! Glad you like it. Cheers!!

[@84deeanne]

Hi Stewart thanks for the reply I would love to be in the drawing for one of your platters! been watching your videos for an couple hours I love your play with new ideals. thanks so much have a good week! Larry

[@stewartfurini]

Cheers, Larry - this one took quite a while! I've got some crackle effect glaze to have a play with....

[@wagWAGart]

happy new year to you and a great piece lov it

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Wayne - glad you like it. Happy New Year - Cheers!

[@sjscreations2608]

Happy New Year to you Stewart and your family! Initially I thought no he's gone the wrong way with this one, but when you did the side shot it looked very much like pottery. Congrats! Cheers Sean

[@stewartfurini]

Thank you, Sean - I think sometimes the frontal shots don't show enough of the finish, so I'm pleased the side shots showed you a clearer picture of the finish. Happy New Year and thanks for commenting! Cheers!

[@sjscreations2608]

Stewart Furini hi Stewart, thanks for answering so quickly. I sprayed (painted) my first platter recently and then spray lacquered it, however when I went to turn the centre like you did, where the paint meets the raw middle section, the painted area is cracked? Are you able to please give me any advice??? I love the stuff that you do! Cheers Sean

[@stewartfurini]

Hi Sean - how did you turn the middle? Did you start by setting the outer rim with a parting tool? This might cut through the paint cleaner than if you started with a bowl gouge? You could also try marking the edge of the rim with a parting tool by making a shallow cut before you start colouring - this way you won't be cutting through the paint to form the bowl centre. Hope this is helpful...Cheers.

[@tiddlerfromtad]

Hi Stewart. It looks absolutely fantastic. Your random pyrography pattern works really well. Happy 2018! Cheers Andrew

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Andrew. Happy New Year to you and best wishes for a great 2018. Cheers.

[@timriley8393]

What type of pyrography unit do you use? It seemed to work great, even through the stain. The piece looks great!

[@stewartfurini]

Hi Tim - thanks for commenting. I use a Peter Child pyrography machine. It coped really well with this job. Cheers!

[@MikeWaldt]

Beautiful look Stewart ... and some great dance moves at the end too ;) Happy New Year Mike

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Mike! Glad you appreciated the dancing! Happy New Year ! Cheers

[@michaelsharps9039]

What a great start to the year, a really good effect on the platter and a great piece Stewart. Can you just confirm what you were spraying, I think I heard spirit stain rather than acrylic paint.....is that right...? Many thanks and a Happy New Year.

[@stewartfurini]

Michael Sharps Hi Michael. You heard right. Chestnut Products Spirit Stains were the colours I used in this platter. Glad you like the effect. Cheers and Happy New Year!

[@jude4896]

Thank you for sharing

[@stewartfurini]

My pleasure

[@debbiecoull6957]

Hi Stewart, today's question; since your my font of knowledge. What kind of mask are you using when spraying the acrylics/lacquer/pyrography. I have a powered respirator, but to my knowledge, they are for dust, not fumes. Ta for the help you've given me to date. I do really appreciate it. The guys at my club are a bit old school and don't seem to do anything inventive.

[@stewartfurini]

Hi Debbie - I have an Elipse vapour mask for spraying. For pyrography, as I have only done a few things, I don't have one of the charcoal filter fans that I've seen. The vapour mask gives some protection though. Here's the type I have: www.amazon.co.uk/GVS-Filter-Technology-SPR503-Respirator/dp/B013EBJPPM. If you were going to do a lot of pyrography I'm sure one of the charcoal filters would be advisable given that the wood smoke is carcinogenic! Where is your club?

[@debbiecoull6957]

Thanks Stewart, my club is in Dundee. They are a great bunch, but not experimental.

[@debbiecoull6957]

Oh, I already have that mask. It's what I used before I got my powered one. I'll just use that then when spraying. Ta again.

[@TheWoodYogi]

Beautiful Stewart :) Happy New Year ॐ

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Yogi! Happy New Year to you. Cheers!

[@clydeulmer4484]

Really nice effect, Stewart -- but I'll cheerfully admit that I don't have the patience to steal this one. I've personally found that the solution for those times you don't want to wear your mask is to just hold your breath for 15 minutes :-D Clyde

[@stewartfurini]

Cheers, Clyde - glad this one is safe from duplication then!! Happy New Year. Cheers!

[@debbiecoull6957]

HI, what spray gloss product did you use?

[@stewartfurini]

Hi Debbie - I used Hycote lacquer from Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/Hycote-Bodyshop-Clear-Lacquer-400ml/dp/B0086V45JW/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=hycote+lacquer+professional&qid=1553105295&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull This costs a bit more because it has a 'professional' nozzle which I find gives a better finish than the standard nozzle...Cheers!

[@debbiecoull6957]

Ta for that. Debs

[@debbiecoull6957]

Oh look. Same product cheaper. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B004SNLNY2?th=1&psc=1

[@mickruhdorf9916]

i wonder how many other people screamed LEAVE IT AS IT IS at their screens lol

[@stewartfurini]

Ha ha, Mick...I think that's quite possibly a rather common reaction to most of my videos! Cheers!

[@andygorst9741]

It's the 'spottly' effect that made this piece what it is 2:41 :-)

[@stewartfurini]

Cheers, Andy - you can't beat a good bout of spottling!!

[@woodturningwithDave]

Like the video Happy new year :)

[@stewartfurini]

David the walsall woodturner Tahnk you Daviv. Delighted you liked the video. Happy New Year. Cheers!

[@simonhopkins3867]

a young lady frend liked my pyrography tools. SoI lent them to her. I'm now looking to replace them. lol Looks fantastic BTW. the arosol can dance! don't drink and turn bud.🍺 😂

[@stewartfurini]

You might be the only person who's watched that far.....and I can't blame it on drink - must have been aerosol fumes....;)

[@frankbove3699]

Stewart Furini No Stewart, I saw it too. I thought I’d quietly file it away and use it against you at a later date. That’s that plan scuppered then. Seriously, it’s good to see you pushing the boundaries. We can all learn from your experience.

[@simonhopkins3867]

Frank Bove pmsl thanks for that ;-)

[@stewartfurini]

You might have to join me in it if I get to Yorkshire for the April meeting!

[@simonhopkins3867]

Stewart Furini are you asking me for a dance? lol

[@simonhopkins3867]

a young lady frend liked my pyrography tools. SoI lent them to her. I'm now looking to replace them. lol

[@marymary5494]

[@stewartfurini]

Thanks, Mary!

The Aerosol Can Dance . . . I guess that would be the Can-Can . . . :)

Oh yes!! Great name!! Cheers!
